Apologies. Should-a just copied. From my "arch-enemy":

Matt Mullen Sep 30
I'm not seeing any solutions here. Just a lot of blame and accusations.
My solution is to provide a national program where we offer centers that can test people's aptitudes and interests and then set them on a track toward improving their relevant skills and knowledge so that they can find gainful employment. I'd like these centers to be open to all Americans over 16, and I'd like for the testing and education to be fully funded by the federal government. And I'd like the business community to frequently report on which kinds of skills and knowledge are most needed, and are likely to be needed down the road.

I believe M. Mullen is thinking something like a trade school.
Me? Mebbe a three-year school that includes classes on citizenship, ethics and other basics. ALONG with college-prep education to match the best of the best. Like I commented over there, seems like there'd be possibilities. ?
I've been meaning to listen, but generally don't unless there's a transcript. Dunno if authors ever look at these comments, but was saying same to, perhaps, interesting idea on M. Weiss's article on this. https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/wrongthink-on-race-with-glenn-c-loury/comment/3090296

If it were me, I'd put the age at 14. As they're going INTO high school, right? Strictly MERIT based, of COURSE.
